Request to Stop Vandalism[edit]

Dear Orthopraxia,

I see that you are pre-occupied with editing wars and with continous vandalism claims from other users who are complaining about your acts including Users: Fram, Angelo De La Paz, Dave1185, One last pharaoh, MISR, Bartleby and others....

I thought I was the only one, but apparently I am not. I would like to ask you one more time to stop vandalising other people's good faith efforts and their editings simply because you don't like or you don't approve of it. I am not sure why are you angry with the Fresno people but recently you have been deleting their releigous information for some reasons on a daily basis???

Please STOP your Vandalism of the Fresno Christian Orthodox information and stop deleting it from the Coptic Holy Synod Article, List of the United States Coptic Orthodox Churches and other location....

I need to remind you that Wikipedia is NOT the place to fight or get engaged in editing wars, or claim that you are correct and other people are wrong (Truth Rule).

I don`t know who you are or why are you angry with the Church. But deleting the Fresno Church information will not calm down you anger.

One more time, whether you like them, agree with the information or disagree with it, please stop.

I would like NOT to cause you any troubles and would like to leave it at that level seeing that you are already busy with other wars.

Please let's keep it at this level. We are not looking for a fight with you or anybody else. Let`s find common grounds to enjoy our time in Wikipedia.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sources[edit]

Your recent contribution(s) to the Wikipedia article Christianity by country are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! Patstuarttalk|edits 01:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I responded to your comment on my talk page. -Patstuarttalk|edits 02:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Orthopraxia; Thank you for your continuous help with articles about the Coptic Orthodox Church. Your recent changes to The Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria have unermined much hard work I have been putting into this page for the past week or so.

Coptic Wikipedian[edit]

Did you ever consider joining "Wikipedia:WikiProject Oriental Orthodoxy" or Category:Coptic Wikipedians [1]? I was just wondering. I myself am an Orthodox Copt. I do find these topics in particular to be interesting! ~ Troy 01:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Church of the Holy Virgin in Babylon Al-Darag[edit]

I require help for developing the article for this Church (located in Coptic Cairo). You can do so by editing my sandbox at User:Troy 07/Sandbox (the page which currently holds my little project). I have contacted all of the other Coptic Wikipedians I know of for help. Please remember that copyright infringement will have to be reduced, as I have got the information from an article. I have typed a hidden message mentioning that and other things worth mentioning.

حبيب جرجس[edit]

Hey Orthopraxia! Help would be appreciated if you can improve/expand "Habib Girgis" (and if you're willing to start an article in Arabic Wikipedia taken from here, then that would be great). I have put some sources as well (ie: I've read online that there's a book written by Habib Girgis called "between past and present"//"بين الماضي والحاضر", so if you have it, that would be great). You don't need to do any of this if you don't have time, but if you do, then I'll be there to help out. Thanks, ~ Troy (talk) 20:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church[edit]

Regarding your revert of my edit on this article, you are wrong on both accounts: "His Eminence" and so on is not comparable to "Brigadier", Brigadier is comparable to Archbishop or Metropolitan: it is a job description, not a style of address. This is explained in the manual of style, a guideline of how we are supposed to write our articles. Furthermore, you and I have every right to change this, this is the Encyclopedia anyone can edit, and no organization or institution can decide how we describe and call people. Articles like Elizabeth I of England don't use "Her Royal Highness" anywhere in the article. Fram (talk) 07:27, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Misr edits[edit]

Hi there, I noticed you revived an autonomous Misr page. It is a simple copy of the mid to later pattern Soviet AKM rifles. One of your referenced sources states: "The Maadi ARM (Automatic Rifle Misr) is an Egyptian copy of a late middle production Soviet AKM. The Maadi Company For Engineering Industries direct Kalashnikov production at "factory 54" in Cairo, the machinery and skills being obtained directly through the help of the Soviet Union. Thus, weapons produced here are very close copies of the AKM produced in Russia at the time the assembly line was placed into full service, with little changes made since then." I understand that you are proud of your ancestral nation's engineering achievements, but nationalism does not warrant an individual entry for each firearm ever produced under a license or technology transfer agreement. Koalorka (talk) 21:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on MISR (firearm). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Nukes4Tots (talk) 20:18, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Koalorka's talk page for discussion on this matter. Thank you, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 07:51, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is great that you have had first-hand experience with this weapon, but the problem now is that nobody has sources to push their side. You claim the MISR is a significant variant, while Koalorka says that it isn't. We're at a standstill until one of you provides a source for verification. Can you try to dig up some websites that mention the differences between the AKM and MISR? Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 18:15, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there; by the time i noticed your massege on my talk page the MISR firearm has already been redirected to the AKM article; However, i have created a new article, the Misr assault rifle. Please add your valuable edits there, and this time, i think i shall be there if some one vandalized -including non wikipedia identified vandalism-. I have to say that i am not in my best editorial activity these days thanks to being bussy with the college, however i am doing what i can. One last pharaoh (talk) 20:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take a deep breath[edit]

I understand that you are currently engaged in a heat argument over the details of the page MISR (firearm). What I would advice you is stop being impolite to other editors no matter how right or wrong you maybe. IF you feel that whatever you have added is correct and it has been reverted, you can always take your opinion to the discussion page of that article and talk things out with the other editors in a civilized and sensible manner instead of pushing your opinion or words/statement (fringing almost on insult) into the face of others. Let me just stress this to you, Wikipedia is an online collaborative effort in the writing of a FREE online Encyclopedia, that means we work together, contribute ideas, share your opinions with others. In short, we work by consensus. Ja? ...Dave1185 (talk) 02:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dave, Thank you for your response and I agree with you. Here are the facts: The Page already existed, I did not create it, I added some references. They decided out of no where to cancel it, then started accusing me be being a zealout and moking my ethinic ancestery. There are several other pages of copies and variants of the AKM and they are all there. I searched as best as what is available on the net to get references. The Egyptian Military Companies do not have that much of exposure as others do. due to their strange understanding of secrecy. Before coming to the USA, I served in the Egyptian Army so that I can immigrate in a legal manner. I had both Asssault Rifles in front of me. There are substantial differences on the outside, I am not sure how much on the inside. The Egyptian Military Production is considerably advanced and they made many improvements in other weapons such as Sakr Eye MANPADS. I was involved in severaltraining manouvres with other Military personnel, one of them was the Bright Star and due to the fact that I am tri-lingual, I was assigned as assistant to several Generals, as an interpreter with foreign Military Officials and I have seen and heard many of them at different occasions showing their admiration of the weapon in question and how different it is from the original one in many aspects, while they were trying it out in the field. Now, that was 18-19 years ago, I was younger and my grasp of technical information was not that developped and my interest in weaponery was more in statistics and capabilities of weapons in a comparitive way (distance, range, weight, speed and so on). I am saying this because I know that this weapon, however small and insignifigant it might be is deserving a page, which as I said was already created some time ago,before these two wikipedian decided to go on a mission to eradicate which does not conform with certain guidlines of Wikipedia. I am not interested in having a war with others, but in as much as there are many pages that are either copies or variants of other weapons and these pages are allowed to exsist just because the variation is well established in different references from the net or a commonly known information for many is not just or fair. Once again, thank you for your kind words.Orthopraxia (talk) 16:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're welcome, my friend... but you really really need to divide your statement into paragraphs in future... otherwise, you'd make it almost impossible for moi to read. I took the time to read through the article of "MISR" before they redirect it to the page of AKM, I think what the page needs is more reference sources and if possible, a quote from the relevant page in "Jane's Defence handbook on small arms", should you be able to find it in order to make it difficult for them to ignore a reknown publisher. Regarding your clashes with those few editors who are known to have problems of ownership of articles. Here are my two recommendations, click this → Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for more details and if all else fails... the last step is to click this → Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration. Anyway, I'm sure that we as ex-military personnel, understand that there are proper channels for doing things and providing feedbacks in the real world and on Wikipedia. Also, do feel free to read up on the new welcome section I just provided to you at the very top of this page. Another thing is, please try to keep the discussion here on your talk page as I do monitor it after leaving a note, feel free to ask me anything if you're still not clear. Cheers! ...Dave1185 (talk) 18:26, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great work!![edit]

Hi Orthopraxia, great work on the listing of Egyptian military units. Would you please mind saying what the source was for the listing & order of battle? Thanks very much, Buckshot06(prof) 21:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, you have the best information I have ever seen for the Egyptian Army OB in the fifteen odd years that I've been on and off looking for the information. Thankyou. Would you mind (a) telling me the fate of the 1973 2nd Infantry Division, and (b) telling me whether the three field army's corps are all numbered I, II, and III - the same - in the three field armies. Most armies have different numbers for their corps. Also, when you get the time, could you start listing the magazines and military books you used? - it would make the article more credible. Kind regards, Buckshot06(prof) 22:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Have you got any further on finding the sources - books and magazines? Adding them would really improve the credibility of the article. Kind regards Buckshot06(prof) 14:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fahd-240[edit]

Hello Orthopraxia, I have just started an article about the Fahd-240, and i think that your contributions would be very useful there. Thanx in advance. One last pharaoh (talk) 17:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Egyptian Army[edit]

Hey Orthopraxia.

I see you are aware of the details of units and formations within the Egyptian Army (I think the army might consider that article a threat to its secrecy!). But the reality is that almost the entirety of the article is unreferenced, and some users are making a mockery of it in the talk page, not to mention the article is still start class...

Not to undermine all your efforts, but wouldn't the article be better off if we only mentioned units as far as division-size, and focused instead on the history and training of the army, and organized the equipment and vehicles so that they are mentioned once instead of several times as variants? (ie: instead of repeatedly mentioning the Fahd vehicle under Armored Cargo Carrier and Smoke Generator, Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Armored Personnel Carrier, Armored Command Post and Fire Control Vehicles and Logistic & Engineering Vehicles, we can mention it once as an APC used by the army in several variants for several purposes). That would shorten the length of the article and make it actually useful to readers; seriously Orthopraxia, no one is going to spend all his time reading all the details of the Egyptian armies command HQs, all the formation ranging from division-size down to company-size units, the various military regions and the incredible amount of equipment mentioned in all their variants. As it is now the article really isn't useful to readers. What do you say?

By the way, I'm interested in the note you made about the M60A3 that they were to be upgraded with M1A1 turret. I am planning to make an article about this upgraded M60. Do you know how the Egyptian Army designates the upgraded tank and do you have any sources which I can use? The upgrade is similar to the M60-2000 Main Battle Tank with a few differences such as the engine. Could the upgrade planned by the Egyptian Army be similar to that tank with a few modifications?

Thanks for taking the time to read this Orthopraxia. Sherif9282 (talk) 17:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Reliable sources[edit]

As per above and my advice to you almost a year ago, you really need to furnish a reliable source to back up your claim on the article page of Exocet or your edit for Egypt (to quote you adding Sea Kings and Mirage 5s as air-launched platforms) as one of the user for the AM-39 version will be thrown out. Isn't that simple to understand? Regards. --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 09:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dave, if you check the following web cite reference[2], and apply "All" or just "France" as the supplier and "Egypt" as the recipient and choose from 1950 to 2008, and download the pdf file, check under France and you will find the Exocet AM-39 supplied to Egypt in 1982-83 and they are used from the Air Force's Mirage 5 and the Navy's Sea King. Orthopraxia (talk) 02:50, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you very much for that link, and let's keep the discussion in one place, shall we? BTW, I've got the Mirage 5SDE tied to the Exocet but I'm still looking for the correct Sea King link and reference to tie the Exocet to it. Would you happened to have any clue? Regards. --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 03:17, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are welcome, to my knowledge the Sea King MK 47, that Egypt has, an which is a primarily an ASW heli, but has the Anti ship capability to carry 1/2 AM39 instead of the torpedoes. Orthopraxia (talk) 03:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Problem is, the article page of Westland Sea King doesn't list/mentioned that the helicopter is indeed equipped with the Exocet and there is no evidence to indicate it too. Most likely, it is the EAF's Mirage 5SDE that will get to carry the Exocet instead, as the Egyptian Navy is already tied up with the stowing of so many type of Anti-ship missiles. So for clarity, I'm going to omit linking Exocet missile to the WS-61 Sea King Mk 47 until a better sourced reference can be located, ascertained and verified. --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 04:09, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Modern equipment of the Egyptian Army[edit]

Hi there, Just letting you know that I reverted the edits you made to the page. You added quantities without proper citation, you changed quantities for cited material without updating the citation (please read the citation before removing it, and if you feel it's not a worthwhile reference, please use the edit summary and/or talk page), and added references from the Egyptian Army page through copy and pasting without using proper inline citations - how many of them actually applied to equipment, and what equipment did it apply to? I would ask you to review WP:Citing sources, WP:Referencing for beginners, and WP:Edit summary. Thanks. - Jonathon A H (talk) 07:08, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum - Any help finding and adding sources for the equipment would be greatly appreciated. Please just cite it when you add it since the numbers can't be verified. If it can't be verified somehow, then it really shouldn't be added. - Jonathon A H (talk) 07:11, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aphroditopolis (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Type 209 Submarine to Egypt[edit]

Check this reference [1] (Upload arms transfer from All to Egypt from 2011-2014) and regretably unless you provide tangible reference for your claim apart from third party statement then this is not a reference, unless the Egyptian Navy spokesman states so in an official statement. User:OrthopraxiaOrthopraxia (talk) 09:18, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you haven't read my reply.

Yes, it was stated by Admiral Osama Rabee, Commander in Chief of the Egyptian Navy in an official statement. Reference: [2] He also stated it in an interview with an Egyptian TV channel. By the way, The 1500 version is a special version for the Indian Navy. -AHMED XIV (talk) 15:29, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Egyptian Navy - Type 209 version - Reference[edit]

Here is the latest reference for the Egyptian Type 209 version. [3] The Type 209/1400mod is the most recent version of the Type 209 family. [4] -AHMED XIV (talk) 00:39, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
